About Willis Knighton South
Willis Knighton South is a hospital based campus in Shreveport, Louisiana that connects patients to addiction treatment through its Addiction Recovery Center and behavioral medicine services.
I discovered the campus links substance use care with a full medical setting for added support and continuity.
Addiction Treatment With Detox and Residential
Through the Addiction Recovery Center treatment may begin at any level of care from early detox to support following inpatient rehabilitation and I found patients often start with a free assessment.
The center provides an intensive outpatient program for alcohol and drug addiction with care backed by an acute care hospital environment.
Clients can expect relapse prevention services and follow-up care after inpatient treatment along with support for both patients and their families.
The connected Institute for Behavioral Medicine adds inpatient and outpatient mental health services for adults facing co-occurring challenges.

Amenities
Recreational therapy uniquely combines therapeutic interventions with an activity, like horse-riding, hiking, wilderness therapy, basketball, tennis, or a full workout. Benefits of recreational therapy include providing a healthy way to work through the emotions of recovery, learning to build and maintain relationships, improving communication skills, and building self-esteem.
Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recover. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery. Residential drug rehabs are often the preferred method of treatment, as they can be tailored to meet specific needs, offer focused therapeutic care, and provide the necessary tools to sustain recovery.

Based on mounting scientific evidence of the benefits of physical activity in improving mood, enhancing clients’ sense of wellbeing, and decreasing depression and anxiety, fitness therapy encompasses a wide spectrum of intensities, from gentle yoga, qigong, and tai chi to weight training, kickboxing, and other highly physical activities.
Levels of Care
A typical Louisiana outpatient rehab offers a less-intensive treatment option. It is a good fit for those who have a moderate addiction and need accountability and ongoing relapse prevention support. Treatment includes therapy and support groups, and may continue to weeks or months, based on the individual’s needs.
When you have a mental health disorder, addiction treatment must look different than standard rehab. The program must address both your mental health and substance abuse disorders. Louisiana dual diagnosis treatment is designed to do just that.
Residential or inpatient rehab in Louisiana is the most intensive level of care. It involves living at the rehab facility and receiving 24/7 supervised care. Treatment interventions usually include individual and group therapy, nutritional counseling, experiential therapies, and medication.
Professional support makes interventions more powerful and effective. Intervention specialists help family members plan and facilitate interventions, then follow-up with the necessary resources to develop a treatment plan and transition to admittance to drug rehab in Louisiana.
